This is something I'm trying with a walking bassline : I could use some suggestions on the lyric please.
Walk a different road
Opening instrumental x 2 measures
Verse 1:
Walking down the road one day with self-assured control And pockets fat with dignity, I fell into a hole.
Verse 2:
Next week I went walking down that same familiar road I fell in to that same old hole for another episode
Verse 3:
Now something full of nothing can hurt you just the same At first I tried to tell myself there's someone else to blame.
Chorus 1:
A hole, a hole, a deep dark hole That I just could not see I fell into a deep dark hole That I had dug for me
Verse 4:
The next time I went walking - avoiding a replay I walked 'round that familiar hole and went upon my way.

Chorus 2:
A hole, a hole, a deep dark hole That I just could not see I fell into a deep dark hole That I had dug for me.
Verse 5 :
So now when I go walking I'm in a different mode I guess I've learned my lesson so I walk a different road.
Closing instrumental x 2 measures
END

Git - do you have any chords? Better yet maybe a very rough musical demo? I'll give the bassline a go if I can get a sense of the intended flavor of this song. You can email it to me if you'd rather not post.
If you do not have any of these, can you give a written description of the kind of music you are thinking???

Oops - My bad use of language. I didn't mean I need suggestions on a walking bassline. That's actually within my limited musical capability. I'm asking for suggestions on the song lyric and its structure.

Thanks for posting this. I wasn't consciously basing the song on this, because I didn't know it existed - or did I? When I compare the poem and the song, I get the feeling it could be something I might have read 30 - 40 years ago, and it's been buried in my sub-conscious as an idea. Anyway, even if I lifted it unknowingly - this one goes in the bin.....

ANOTHER great lyric....... Thanks for pointing that out Lenny - given that I'll be scrapping the song, I should save the line for a rainy day.
